Hi Friend,
Employee onboarding is essential to retaining top talent. An onboarding program does more than help orient new team members. It shapes how team member relate to their organization. Implementing an employee onboarding program will shape the company culture while developing a highly qualified pool of talent.
The purpose of onboarding is to help new hires transition into the roles at the company. When implemented correctly, onboarding will alleviate stress as it improves the culture of an organization. Employees who start well are more likely to stay at the company long-term. This will reduce turnover and save money in hiring and training costs. Use these tips to quickly help get a new team member up to speed.
Pre-arrival strategies,
- Send welcome letter/packet: This should be done two weeks before the start date if possible.
- Prepare work area: Have the work area ready as well as any necessary items nametags, parking permits etc.
- Provide a contact: Employees should be able to contact someone with questions before they begin work.
- Schedule onboarding: Schedule a start date, welcome, and orientation.
- Inform others: Let other employees know when the new hire is starting.
- First week’s checklist: Work on the checklist for the first week.

The first month should help the employee settle in easily. It is important not to become complacent when a new employee settles in quickly. Keep up with the first month’s checklist to ensure that the onboarding is a success.
Sample checklist:
- Clarify: Continue to clarify roles and expectations.
- Meet: Meet weekly to give and receive feedback.
- Enroll: If necessary, enroll the new hire for any benefits.
- Check training: Make sure that the training is completed.
- Evaluate: Schedule a 30-day evaluation.
